Rugby League

“Just run full steam ahead into a wall of brutish men. That's about it!”

“It's like football with no padding and much more aggressive positions. You end up doing the flips that you do in gymnastics but instead of landing someone pushes you.”

“rugby is pretty cool...it's like if you are a football fan and a soccer fan and you have to choose then rugby would be your sport!!! when i play i feel like i am back on the playground playing KILL THE CARRIER!!! =D”

“has anyone here ever played rugby, it is by far more dangerous than anything on this list, especially football and cheerleading, you play it with no pads, no protection and you have no blockers its full contact. people break arms and legs and go away with bloody faces. then they come back for more, do your research, this IS the most dangerous sport besides maybe base jumping (not a sport i would recomend by the way.)”

“God, this list is pathetic. SOCCER IS NUMBER SIX!?!?!?! Are you kidding me? The only way people get hurt in soccer is if they dive incorrectly and end up twisting an ankle... oh NO!

I don't exactly like playing or watching rugby, but I know for a fact it is tougher than soccer. It is basically football... with no pads. So:
rugby>soccer
rugby>football
rugby>lacrosse
rugby>hockey
rugby>gymnastics (people aren't trying to kill you in gymnastics or cheerleading)
rugby>cheerleading
rugby>bull riding (it's only for 8 seconds! )
rugby>horseback riding: you have to be more specific. Racing, I can understand. Anything else, no. Even in racing, though the injures are almost sure to happen and be terrible if you fall off... if you fall off. So don't fall off.”

“LOLZ at Malorian, I agree, Soccer? Cheerleading? those are self inflicted injury sports. Soccer is so gay, they milk penalties like 6 year old girls. Cheerleading well, if your gonna get thrown around and no1 catches you, thats your teams fault. Soccer players need to harden the f*** up! Imagine them playing in a R/League game, they wouldn't call fowl, theyd call 911! League is a rough game, but you get over the tackles and get on with the game. High tackles around the neck can be deadly, and yes your team mates can't protect physically, they just want you to pass the ball to them, and carry on with the game. If you get smashed in a play, the game carries on and time will only be called if it is an illegal move. Great game to play/ watch. Only real men play this sport, the younger you play, the better you are at taking the hits. But the professional players are rugged as they come, nearly every player has a list of injuries theyve had in the past.”
